Alright people, if you were reading my previous post “Wake Up to Mercedes Boy by Pebbles” you would understand the reason for my research on the affects of music.
I always music played a big part of my feelings, my memories, me reactions, my growing up, I don’t know what I would do without music to stimulate my senses.
Music has an affect on your feelings and more parts of your body than you think, it even repairs brain damage…huh? Read some of the article below and the full article is at the bottom of this page
Repairs Brain Damage:
Slapping neuroscience right across the face, music is able to take stroke, lesion or other brain-damaged patients who have lost the partial ability to see or speak and return it to them. The Kenny Rogers Effect–not named because it deals with gorging yourself on chicken or replacing your old, grandfatherly face with a shiny new rubber one–takes patients with visual neglect, the inability to recognize half of what they see, and lightens the effects of the damage. Patients who only shave half their face or grab for the right boob at a strip club can now put that dollar bill in the left or right side of her thong. The Gambler never stops being awesome.
Boost Your Immune System:
It may come as no surprise to all the Cracked readers who are also neuroscientists that music helps boost your immune system. For the rest of you, word is that intangible plinking noises can create a noticeable increase in recovery from a wide range of conditions, including heart disease, lung ailments and even the common cold. While the field of study is still young compared to fancy “real medicine” like “pharmaceuticals” and “penis phrenology” it turns out that sometimes all you need to overcome your horribly debilitating illness is AC/DC.
Return Lost Memories
If you want music to help you but refuse to stop smoking pot, perhaps you can at least remember where you put your car keys. Or, more applicably, if you have Alzheimer’s it could help you remember pieces of your past. Medical practitioners have found that music shows the potential to unearth memories associated with music for patients, even ones in late stages of dementia. So if you had your first kiss to the dulcet tones of Jefferson Starship, their terrible, terrible music could bring that memory right back for you.
Increase Spatial Reasoning
If only there were some way to make yourself seem smarter without working. Oh, wait, there is. Mozart music, especially piano music, can raise your spatial reasoning the equivalent of nine IQ points. And that’s an average, meaning there are people who get even more of a boost from it. That’s over half a standard deviation or the difference between being Leonardo DiCaprio in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape or Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. Sure, you’re not winning a Nobel Prize either way, but it’s still a noticeable difference.
